Lyrics

Verse

And on the night that I met you

The world was ending

You were mine

You said

"Come over

Take me to

Another world

" and I was kind

The light and color of my skin

Receded when I opened up my eyes

Now

Everything I know is different

Since the day the world went white

Chorus

(Oh) And you said

"No God"

(Oh) No God

(Oh) You said

"No God"

(Oh) You said

"No God"

Verse 2

I know you want it

You want it

Come and get it

Baby

Come and get it

I know you want it

You want it

Come and get it

Baby

Come and get it

I know you want it

You want it

Come and get it

Baby

Come and get it

I know you want it

You want it

Come and get it

Baby

Come and get it

Chorus

(Oh) You said

"No God"

(Oh) No God

(Oh) You said

"No God"

(Oh) You said

"No God"

(Oh) No God

(Oh) You said

"No God"

(Oh) No God

(Oh) You said

"No God"
